Forward-Deployed Engineer at SysGroup PLC
Join a high-velocity strategy team within a publicly listed London tech firm to lead their internal AI transformation.

With a salary up to £95k and unlimited tokens for frontier models, this is a rare opportunity to ship at startup speed with the backing of an established, revenue-generating enterprise. If you're deep on MCP, context engineering, and Python, this is your chance to redefine how a modern technology services company operates.
